"Have fun cleaning this mirror you b*tch!"

After Amanda's elimination, the remaining drag queens are surprised to find a mirror on which Amanda Tori wrote her last message before leaving.

The red lipstick stains read:

"I hate every one of you last b*tches, most of all Q. LMAO but actually I love you. Have fun cleaning this mirror you b*tch. You better f*cking win so that I can at least say that the winner sent me to the house."

Additionally, Dawn opened up about missing Amanda, now that she has left:

"Amanda has just gone and it's hard for me because she has become one of my best friends and I'm gonna miss her a lot."

"Plane, who are you gonna pick on now that Amanda's gone?"

Plane Jane and Amanda Tori haven't been seeing eye to eye since the first two episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race season 16 were released. In episode 3, tensions arose between two drag queens when Jane called Amanda’s drag “hideous.”

Now that, Amanda has been eliminated, Jane's costars inquired who she's going to have verbal fights with now.

"The icon, the legend, the star, Charo is here!"

RuPaul's Drag Race host RuPaul introduced the participants to a celebrity guest Charo, who assisted the drag queens in learning the famous Spanish flamenco dance.

Contestants will be given a mini challenge in which they will have 30 minutes to get dressed in their respective costumes. Explaining the challenge, RuPaul said:

"Queens, for today's mini-challenge, Charo will test your uniqueness, nerve, and talent for the Spanish flamenco dance contest. Brought to you by the tourist board of Spain, Spain is a hugely popular tourist destination for the LGBTQ community."
